IMPORT THIS!

Last night bigDrag recorded Imported Wine and Soul Food. Um, it rocked pretty hard and I don't give a fuck what the Greeks say about hubris. I've studied those bastards enough to disregard them.

The first take was pretty much as rocking as anything we've done on this record. I'm pleased. We just kept my scratch vocal and only Dev did some backing track (and additional guitar oDs). I'd like to think the fellas were so blown away by my "live" vocal that they thought - "That's it - PRINT IT!"....

...of course - in the back of my mind I'm thinking: "Nobody wants to have to hear me do a vocal overdub they're probably all willing to just move on."

False modesty aside - our band rocks. We must be real fuckups at the business end of this shit since we haven't made more (not to say any) waves after ten years of playing together.

Who cares...This record is going to be good and that's what counts. I can't control the other shit - and that's that. I mean, I guess I can control the other shit - BUT I CHOOSE NOT TO.

I'm in control in that it's clearly a conscious decision on my part to let certain things go to hell...

...and that's what counts.

White Sox Win The Central Division

I know I said somewhere in the "about me" section that this blog is dedicated to keeping me focused on projects I'm working on...but I'm more than a semi-retired (almost dead) rock guy...I am (and have been for more of my life than I CAN remember) a hopeless ChiSOX fan. They clinched the Central Division this afternoon. I'm pretty f'in happy. Alex and I came back from Tommy O's and saw the guys smoking big cigars and dumping beer on each others' heads.

Alex said: "Why aren't they drinking their beer Daddy?"

Why indeed son...why indeed.

I'm Cheating on My Other Blog

Ok, So I just started a blog (in another set of spaces - whatever) last night but I hate it. Am I cheating on my first blog? I didn't spend much time trying to figure out how to make it better. I wrote whatever came to mind and put it out there. It looks like shit and is not very interesting. That was almost me. Now, I'm trying to be honest...admitting my limitations...and remaining gleefully unaware that this blog sucks even more than the previous one.

One thing I noticed about blogs that I visit frequently....the bloggers like talking about how they should be doing something else but instead they waste a lot of time writing their blogs.

I guess this is what it sounds like...
...when doves cry.
